Green Backs and Red Skins (1915)

Wilhelm Holehogg, Comancheville's biggest man, meets with terrible defeat, viz.; the loss of one of his full cans. Frenchy, his comrade, finds a fortune, in a dime, and hastens to acquaint Wilhelm of his good fortune. The great one receives a communication informing him that he has inherited $1,000,000. Wilhelm and Frenchy rush madly to collect. They do so and give away thousands. Now Lord Cashin was a mighty hunter upon the field of battle, that is to hear him in the hotel tattle. Wilhelm and Frenchy listen to his methods of choking the rhinoceros. Their blood is fired and they hie themselves, hence into the dark forests where Chief Battleax becomes much peeved and orders them to be shot as spies, but Princess Right Wing envelopes their left wing and saves them and they marry into the tribe. Later Wilhelm and Frenchy imbibe deep and long, then the great one jumps to the center of the arena and challenges the whole tribe to deadly fisticuffs. After the battle they sink down upon the bank of doom, and dream what might have been.
